How's your SOT on the Moto G6 Plus? - Moto G6 Plus Questions & Answers

I recently bought and returned(because of a small hardware defect) a Moto G6.
Now that I had time to think better about what phone I want, I'm thinking a Moto G6 Plus or Redmi Note 5 might be better for me.
Only thing I need to know to decide is how much battery life I can expect to get from the Moto G6 Plus.
So, how does it do? Can I expect to get 6 or 7 hours SOT while on 4g? Maybe 5?
Thanks!

I hope so because the mobile is encrypted and when you decrypt it, It is much more fluid, and at the moment there is no root or Kernel, much less rooms ...

It will come it's only been out couple weeks don't forget , but seeing as it's not available in us development might be some what slower as G6 is totally different hardware and 32bit only, we might even not get a G6+ forum maybe a bit of the green eyed monster

I get about 3,5 hrs SOT in the 90-20% charge range - mostly phone, text, whatsapp, telegram, skype & websurfing.
Gets me through the day, but I think having a powerbank available ain't the worst idea...
Using it since last friday evening with full NFC cloning from my S7, will check again after a fresh setup some time.

VZW HTC One to VZW Moto X

I'm thinging about giving the Moto X a go. I currently have an HTC One. Anyone here made this switch? Any concerns or regrets?
Thanks!!!
I have both - one personal one work ... The moto x is significantly more enjoyable to use with all of the nice features moto added ... 32 GB was important to me so I went with moto maker

Yeah I plan on keeping the One at least for a little while. Thinking bout going with the Dev Ed.(32gb and unlockable bootloader) since I will be paying full price anyways.
I'm thinking on giving up the Moto just because of Dev support and lock bootloaders. I'm still debating since I just got the Moto a couple of days ago. How is your experience with the ONE?

The Dev support is ok on the VZW One but not even close to other variants and Im unsure why Dont get me wrong, I love the One. Its probably the only device that I ran stock and really didnt mind. The build quality IMO is unmatched on an android device and the sound quality is not just loud its crystal clear. But I was in BB the other day and picked up the Moto X for the first time and my instant thought was, "WOW, this really does feel GREAT in my hand without sacraficing scren size!". Then I dug more into the features of the phone and came to the conclusion that it that these features arent just gimmicks like they were on the S3 and S4 when I had them. I wouold only by the Moto X if it were the Dev Ed. Not really for ROMs but for root(I needs my wifi tethering and Titanium Backup) ;0)
This makes my decision that much easier!!!:laugh:

KitKat 4.4.2 Rolling Out

Not sure if this is the Moto G version, or Moto X aswell, but Motorola Official Blog just released a note:
KitKat Breaks into Europe - The KitKat goodness continues to roll out at a furious pace! Last week we began rolling out Android, KitKat 4.4.2 to carriers and regions in Europe. Check the software updates release page for the latest on your device.

The UK version is launching February 1st with Kit Kat so I'm going to hazard a guess it'll be out then

...because the X already had 4.4 before the G, so it needs a second upgrade. The G only needed one upgrade to go straight to 4.4.2.

I could care less about the Google play edition, after using the Motorola add on's I wouldn't want to lose touchless controls or active notifications.

That's also the reason that the moto x will probably get updates a little slower than the G. The G doesn't have any of the features of the X, so it's got less to port /update.

Marshmallow Battery life discussion LG-G4

Hi! Can you share your personal experiences of battery life using android 6 on G4? With details like, SOT, network used and signal strenght, tweaks applied on phone, background running apps? And it improved over Lollipop?
Thanks!
(And sorry for my bad bad english)
I'm upgrade today to marshmallow so i will post my opinion in day or two. So far i'm hapy with upgrade.
Sent from my LG-H815 using Tapatalk
Not sure Doze is working on my Marshmallow build.
I just switched from a Nexus 5 on 6.0 to this LG G4 and the Marshmallow ROMs don't hold a candle to the Nexus 5 in battery drain overnight.
Nexus 5 lost 1-2% overnight Dozing with a 2 year old tiny battery...the G4 lost 5-6% last night with a bigger brand new battery.
I suspect there's bugs to work out still.
I also switched from N5, 1 year and 9 month old, and had the initial feeling that the battery is not that great, but it was a placebo, N5 was super optimised, using Elementalx kernel, doze, Tasker, greenify vs G4 barely rooted and some bloatware removed. Actually G4 gives me 5 to 6h of SOT, while N5 was 3,5 to 5h. So if I look at the numbers G4 has the better battery life, even not being optimised for that.

Don't know how much to expect with Doze. the G4 has very good standby as is.

Should be half that.
Give it a few more charge cycles for battery to get conditioned.
I m more and more happy with battery life. On lollipop i usual have 1 hour less screen time. My setup is wifi and 3g are always on sync, bluetooth and gps today are off all the time. My SOT is 4h 50 min with 8% battery left. So far so good.

How can i install marshmallow on my G4? Also if I was to manually install it does that mean i wouldn't get OTA updates?

You can install like me with lg up you dont need root or bootloader open. Search general on forum. Its like upgrade and its so to easy. Yes OTA will work later when upgrade is out.

Bad Battery
Hi all,
I am only able to get about 2.5h of dot within the day. I got my Mi5s month ago and the only thing that helped me, was playing a lot with amplify (4h Sot were possible then). But nearly all application which makes a device smart won´t work in background anymore.
I hoped that updating to nougat will fix. But today... I am at 1h42min dot and only 27% left after 10.5h of use. I only listen to amazon music (over 3G) for about 2 hours. Some surfing, some whatsapp and i use my samsung gear s2.
Greenify is running. I also freezed qfp with titanium backup.
I don´t know what to do. Some time ago I tested the device with only whatsapp running... Got same results.
I ordered a new Mi5s through gearbest. Will arrive in the next 2 weeks. I hope my device is a little broken.
We wait new screenshot

It seems possible to do this by changing global preferred_network_mode1 but the changes don't take effect without rebooting. Anyone have a smart way of doing this? I'm running LOS

I had the Mate 9 and I'm currently owning a P10 Plus.
Pretty much they are the same phone, with 1 big difference: battery life.
I don' t know what Huawei did with this EMUI 5.1., but is total garbage. Battery life is really bad, and you won't be able to make more than 3 hours SOT over a day. Is a total shame:

On the mate 9 I could get easily 8-9 hours SOT, and I thought with this P10 Plus would be something similar because of the similar specs, but is the other way around. Performance is good, as well as camera and every other thing you can imagine, but this battery totally sucks. There is people who claim that there's a beta that fixes this, but still no word of ETA.
Anyway, if you are having a hard time deciding these 2 devices, I would say check first the Mate 9 Pro, that pretty much is the combination of both. I'm seriously considering giving back the P10 Plus and get the Mate 9 Pro, because are almost identical specs and price.

You have to take in mind that P10 and P10 Plus have different audio systems, and the latest has double speakers as well, more like the Mate 9 arrangement, which makes a big difference.

For me they are pretty similar, both in quality and loudness.
Regarding the cellular strength, nothing to worry about, Huawei always make the devices with the best reception.
Mate 9, cheaper and better performance if you can deal with the size. Only loss is the faster lense on camera
